Implicated players warned to come forward

Former Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) chief executive Richard Ings has urged any Cronulla players who may have used a banned substance to come forward while they have the chance to avoid a maximum two-year ban.

His call follows claims a group of Sharks players, implicated in ASADA's anti-doping investigation, are considering whether to accept a reduced penalty or fight to clear their names.
